Abstract: A system for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a person, comprising: a device for selectively supplying insulin and glucagon; at least two infusion sets; at least one sensor for measuring a glucose concentration in the blood of said person; and a controller for controlling said device such that a certain amount of insulin and glucagon is supplied per time unit, wherein said certain amount is chosen in accordance with the measured glucose concentration as prescribed by an insulin injection curve and a glucagon injection curve, wherein said controller is further arranged to determine if glucagon is supplied to said person in a chosen time frame, and wherein the controller is arranged to re-assess and optionally adjust the insulin injection curve based on the determination if glucagon is supplied to said person in said chosen time frame.

Abstract: A system for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a person, comprising: a device for selectively supplying at least one and preferably two substances to said person; at least one and preferably two infusion sets connectable to said device; at least one sensor for measuring a glucose concentration in the blood of said person; a controller for controlling said device such that a certain amount of a said substance is supplied per time unit, wherein said controller is arranged to determine a slope of the measured glucose concentration and if said slope exceeds a first threshold value said controller is arranged to control the device to supply a pre-injection amount of said at least one substance, said pre-injection amount being a percentage of a maximum pre-injection amount, wherein said percentage is dependent on the determined slope.

Abstract: A transport element for transporting a substance in a reservoir includes a transport means, such as a conduit, tube, hose or the like, and a connector arranged at an inlet end of the transport means for connecting to the reservoir such that in a connected condition in which the connector is connected to said reservoir a medium through flow connection is provided between said reservoir and the inlet end of the transport means for receiving said substance from said reservoir. The connector includes aligning and holding means for aligning and holding the reservoir in a predetermined orientation with respect to and/or position along a longitudinal axis of the connector. An infusion set, system or combination including transport element, and a method of at least fluidly connecting such a transport element to a reservoir.

Abstract: A system for selectively supplying a substance to a person, for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a person, includes a device for selectively supplying a substance which includes a port for connecting to a transport element, and a controller for controlling the device, an infusion set including an infusion element comprising a first connector for connecting to a second connector of the transport element, and a transport element including second and third connectors. The following parts of the system can form at least one pair: the infusion elements; the second connectors; second connector with said or a respective third connector; or combinations thereof. The device can detect and/or be inputted with information indicating the pair is formed, and the controller controls the device such that a priming function can only be performed if detected and/or inputted that said at least one pair is formed.

Abstract: An infusion set for a system for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a person includes an infusion element having an infusion means for infusing a substance into a body of said person, and a transport element having a transport means for transporting the substance. The infusion element is adjustable from a neutral condition to at least a first or second condition, and in the first or second condition the infusion element is adapted to a first or second type of transport element only. A system for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a person including two such infusion sets and to the use of such a system.

Abstract: A system for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a person includes a device for selectively supplying at least two substances having at least two ports for connecting to a respective transport element, and a controller for controlling the device, at least two infusion sets, each infusion set including an infusion element, and the transport element. The system includes a mischannelling detection system for detecting mischannelling of the infusion element and transport element and/or for detecting mischannelling of the transport element and port. The controller is arranged for controlling the device to not supply the substance and/or to provide a warning signal to the person if mischannelling is detected.

Abstract: An apparatus for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a person includes: at least one glucose sensor that is arranged to measure the glucose concentration of the person, for example in the interstitial fluid or blood; a pump for selectively introducing at least one substance influencing the blood glucose levels into the body of the person, for instance by at least one cannula or catheter to be inserted into the body of said person, and a control for controlling said at least one substance influencing the blood glucose levels to be introduced to the person based on data received from said glucose sensor. Said apparatus includes at least one further sensor that is arranged to monitor a further characteristic of the person. The at least one further sensor may include an accelerometer, a heart rate sensor, a temperature sensor, a pH sensor, a ketone sensor, a GPS receiver, and/or a skin resistance sensor.
